The Northwest Arkansas Naturals trumped the Corpus Christi Hooks, 6-3, at Whataburger Field. Northwest Arkansas shortstop Dan Snider was terrific. He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Steffen Lord earned the win to go to 1-3. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Manny Mojano earned the save for Northwest Arkansas, his 10th.

Snider had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a first pitch slider from Orlando Esparza, he banged a grand slam home run to right-center, giving the Naturals a 5-2 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Snider.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Snider told a Northwest Arkansas Observer reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."

The Naturals now have a record of 22-56.
